And you can confirm that Explorer.EXE never stopped running on these servers??

Which Windows version? explorer.exe is weird -- it only runs when a user is actually logged into the machine and NSClient++'s polling of that specific process can misbehave:

Agreed, this is not always a great process to monitor
